We hope some one was conveni en tly close, to hand the smelling salts to the T.os Angeles Times when Johnson's victory in Michigan Was announced. - L1 A WORLD REBUILT By the Golden Rule not by the rule of Gold 'pHIRTY denomination of the Church are uniting in May 2U'taneous Pa'gn in the week of April 25th- They are 'uniting because the task before the Church is too great for any one denomination; because there must be no duphcation of effort; no waste. These churches know that the world needs many things but it needs Faith most of all They know tJiat there can be no final solution of our economic problems that is not a spiritual solution, based ' on the teachings of Jesus Chiist and His Golden Rule. They have had the courage to survey the whole task, . ana to ask ;for a budget large enough to sustain (l) the - work abroaI, (2) the work at home including the church's aUZ "k"26 task of Americanization, (3) the colleges , ana (y hrspitals supported by the Churches, (5) the reli gious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living wag, for the Church's ministers. JAie budget is large in the aggregate; yet f i each person who loves America would increase his contribution by pn?y a few dollars the whole junount would be easily subscribed. : ; tur- r . .

' The French are taking (Frankfort i as a gentle hint that they think i the matter of peace promises, the guileful Fritz is a prevaricator. It is said the first'thingjthe allies will do with Constantinople is give it a sewer system. It should be of proportions ample to dispose of the Turks. balances. To improve (he situation which now threatens our monetary system it is proposed to put a pre mium on gold production and an ex- cise tax on rmKI used In arts. The government will levy the tax and pay the premium, which at present ii proposed at 10 cents per ounce of gold. This discloses a strance sit uation and an apparent violation of the law of supply and demand. Gold, an article in quantity much less than the demand is, yet so -L 1 ( ........ wrap in price mat it docs not pay to mine it. in oi mucn m me paper" snys one man, laying down the daily. So accustomed have we become to war and strife and crime that the dailies are hard put and drag the stations of the police court to the front page to try and supply our jaded appetites. We will have to try now and cultivate a taste for the more moc'e t and less demon strative news of peace, The efforts of the great"army of industry and society to rebuild and restore civil isation is a most fascinating study. To any one who has watched the comment on the millage bill as it has come up in the newspapers must notice that comment on the Normal is uniformly favorable. The Normal is doing a good work and with its"supply of teachers is applying a need that is keenly felt over the state. But irrespective of its merits, it appears to us that a feeling of local pride should induce Monmouth people to give the mil lage bill a unanimous support on election day. The Normal is a part of us and we help ourselves by help ing it. We fail to see hnw nnv nil. izen of this city can excuse himself if he opposes the millage bill. Now that Hoover friend is a reg i ular candidate it is up to him to bestir himself if he makes a .proper impression in the great Handicap event. It is odd that Dentist Davis who pulled the kaisers teeth has not de clared himself a candidate for pres iuent. ' Dark Days Demand Light See the new White Mazda A soft light without glare.

From now on we may look for some real political events. ' Occasional alarming reports ap pear about damage to the fruit crop, stiIIith5)lenty;ofndidates this summer there will be ample op portunities for canning. Why is it a person who would : never think of asking a dealer for a free cigar or a grocer for a pound of sugar gratis, will ask a newspap er to publish advertising puffs with out any thought of paying. 'Prohibition makes America our most formidable competitor" says'a British banker. Americans may be wasteful and extravagant but the fact that they don't have to foot John Bull's booze bill will in spite of our economic haSitB make us winners. The so called moral ele ment in our population is inclined to take too much credit for the dry nation. ; For years the railroads have forbidden alcoholic drinks to their employes. It is a long time since any one could hold an import ant job and at the sam? time in dulge in periodical drunks. The commercial world has realized that the drink habit interfered with bus iness and has frowned upon it. With a boozy Britain pitted airainst a boozeless America there can be only one answer. It is an answer that will be so plain that the whole world will realize that as a matter of business sense it can not afford to waste its wealth and energy on booze.

' We wonder if the success of Hi ram Johnson is a tribute to that gentleman's acknowledged forensic powers or does it indicate a general sympathy with his views that we want no league of nations. Governor Lowden says he lones to get back to the farm. Every man feels that way after he has made a few purchases Jin the way of groceries. . Portland is developing along sub stantial lines and Salem is gaining industries, that will 'add to its wealth and importance. For suc cessful agriculture we must have successful cities for these sunolv the market that makes prices that make farming a business instead of an occupation. It is given as a fact that twentv million dollars worth of gold more than the amount mined, was used in the arts, for jewelry and similar purposes during the past year in this country. . This vear the amount Will be forty million dollars worth of gold. The production of gold has fallen off steadily for the past four years because through ex cessive costs it has not paid to oper ate the mines.
